Immigration is a good thing. It has brought enrichment, talent and energy to the country and, on a personal level, a family life.
It's got to be managed, it's got to be fair, it's got to be humane and it's got to exist.

Is it too early to put up the Christmas decorations? My neighbours have their lights up and I’m getting FOMO!

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

RIP Dharmendra, one of the greatest Indian actors of our time.

Here’s a photo from our family album of him and Hemma Malini. My uncle is standing second from the left.

The government is in danger of overlooking the importance of what is taught in special schools and needs to focus more on students who cannot access the national curriculum, special-school leaders have warned. www.tes.com/magazine/new...
Special schools fear being an ‘afterthought’ on curriculum
In response to the curriculum review, leaders in the specialist sector urge the DfE to focus more on what is taught in special schools and how best practice can be shared

I don’t imagine Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock Cummings and others will be remotely affected by this damning report by the Covid Inquiry.

BREAKING: The UK’s response to Covid was “too little, too late”, a damning official report on the handling of the pandemic has concluded, saying the introduction of a lockdown even a week earlier than happened could have saved more than 20,000 lives.

Those UK journalists backing Trump - a man who endorses the murder of a journalist because he’s ‘controversial’ - against the BBC need to see if they can find their moral compass

You know about Trump and Zelesnkyy’s call, but have you heard about the call between Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince?

Watch my statement below. Mr. President, release the transcript.

There’s a myth that Britain has been historically generous and welcoming to refugees and latterly asylum seekers. The facts - and immigration law - tell a different story. And today’s news made me think about Benjamin Zephaniah’s poem about the death of Joy Gardner & how many more deaths we’ll see
Text of a poem by Benjamin Zephaniah “The Death of Joy Gardner” They put a leather belt around her 13 feet of tape and bound her Handcuffs to secure her And only God knows what else, She’s illegal, so deport her Said the Empire that brought her She died, Nobody killed her And she never killed herself. It is our job to make her Return to Jamaica Said the Alien Deporters Who deports people like me, It was said she had a warning That the officers were calling On that deadly July morning As her young son watched TV. An officer unplugged the phone Mother and child were now alone When all they wanted was a home A child watch Mummy die, No matter what the law may say A mother should not die this way Let human rights come into play And to everyone apply. I know not of a perfect race I know not of a perfect place I know this is not a simple case Of Yardies on the move, We must talk some Race Relations With the folks from immigration About this kind of deportation If things are to improve. Let it go down in history The word is that officially She died democratically In 13 feet of tape, That Christian was over here Because pirates were over there The Bible sent us everywhere To make Great Britain great. Here lies the extradition squad And we should all now pray to God That as they go about their job They make not one mistake, For I fear as I walk the streets That one day I just may meet Officials who may tie my feet And how would I escape. I see my people demonstrating And educated folks debating The way they’re separating The elder from the youth, When all they are demanding Is a little overstanding They too have family planning Now their children want the truth. As I move around I am eyeing So many poets crying And so many poets trying To articulate the grief, I cannot help but wonder How the alien deporters (As they said to press reporters) Can feel absolute relief.

Among the many things wrong with Labour’s immigration strategy, this stands out: to “fight” a few thousand so-called illegal migrants, Shabana Mahmood is willing to make life hell for hundreds of thousands of people who are legally in the UK.

Labour’s plan for migrants to ‘earn’ permanent residency turns belonging into an endless exam
In this hierarchical system, migrants are kept on extended probation and judged by standards never applied to British nationals.
